You are a real negative assclown in regards to this topic.Your stupid little "summary" is so shortsightd, it further illustrates what a small thinker you are.
Continue to be swarmy, with trolling posts, while I enjoy the entire Neil Young catalog and all the other exclusive content I purchased from Pono. And no, I don't have a player.
I love watching stew in your own juices,
So much anger...

I tend to break things down to their basics to get beyond the smoke and mirrors. If that's being an a-hole so be it. I thought I was paraphrasing and supporting what you said.I'm not angry. Just relieved that I finally understand this Pono thing.

FAIL.Your "breakdown" is laced with anger And cynicism.
What you can't get though your thick head is that the Pono store has thousands upon thousands of CD Quality downloads not available anywhere else..NOT "hires".. But simple CD quality...of many albums out of print or only available as expensive import title....like....
Jack Bruce, Harry Chapin, John Martyn, Levon Helm, Judy Collins, and hundreds more.
I pegged it...small thinker,...high Rez is a scam, Pono offers no benefit, all hype blah blah blah

The Pono player looks to be a reasonably priced, for the SQ, player. I don't know how it compares to the A&Ks or the others but I'm confident that it doesn't suck. People can buy it or not; I have no idea why Abe has to dump on it.
The Pono Music store is the real boon for computer audiophiles. It gives us more choices and, I suspect, will lead to all new releases being available in hi-rez. Abe's cynicism does not change the fact that NY has captured the attention of the music industry executives, producers, and musicians. Pono can certainly improve their website but, hey, they just got started. I'm disappointed that the prices are so high (CD rez titles should sell for, maybe, $10) but they're not any higher than HDT or the others. I have found one CD-rez for $8 on Pono, as well as a 24 bit Norah Jones for $12. So, maybe we'll see better values in the future?

There is NO reason for anyone to want a Pono player any more than the would want an A&K, Calyx, LH Labs, new Sony Walkman, or any of the other dozen new hirez players that hit the market.

There is no reason for anyone to shop at Ponomusic.com, but competition is GOOD for the consumer...
Not my words above but if there's no reason to buy the Pono player and no reason to shop at Ponomusic.com, my short summary point #3 in my post further up doesn't sound so far fetched anymore. If my summary sounds off, then WHAT is the point? Thanks.
There may not be a reason for YOU to buy a Pono player but please don't speak for everyone. Certainly there are a lot of people who will find the Pono's combination of price, features, and SQ to make it the "right" product for them. Others will gravitate to other players. It's all good!
Likewise, there may be no reason for YOU to shop at Pono Music but they have *do* have titles that are unavailable at HDT. Granted, the examples I've found so far are 16/44 but c'mon! And when your favorite artists start releasing NEW material in hi-rez, you can probably thank NY and Pono!
And there is no reason for you to be on this thread.
BYE BYE.
So many people dislike having their words bounced back at them.
No one else was asking the tough questions and I truly didn't understand the appeal but with your help, I'm pretty clear on it now. BYE BYE.
Yes what is the point of this thread?
So you met Neil Young, big deal. lol
Who's being angry? I believe that your input helped me produce a fair assessment in my summary. I'm done. Thank you.

but having a new DL store is of no interest? Okey-dokey.
